Because you are too clueless.
Ok troll.
So I guess 6 expertise rating from gear an talents and all haste gems is okay.
Thanks for that.
You really are quite clueless if you even talk for a moment about an Enh. gemming for agility. If I see a Shaman gemming for agility, I immediately know they have no idea what they are doing.
As to one of your points (maybe), yes...Expertise cap is an absolute necessity. Hit cap and Expertise cap should be the first thing every shaman looks to get, typically reaching expertise cap at higher gear levels with gems.
You really should look more into things if you're going to criticize others.

Ap/crit beats AGI because we use spells. Trade 0.1% melee crit for 0.3% spellcrit? Good deal.
AP beats crit because it doubles the AP/SP we get.
Expertise capping is mandatory.

First of all, OP, you're the troll.
Being mis-/un-informed doesn't make you a troll.
But yeah, Enhancement got changed quite a bit since BC.

Actually, haste doesn't really start to shine until 4p T10 bonus -
SHINY!
- so the faster you attack, the faster you can stack the MW procs to five, and the more chances you have to proc the bonus. Before that though, AP and haste are pretty close to each other in terms of bonus to your DPS.
so should you match yellow sockets with 20 attack power and 10 haste? Or is it better to go all attack power until you get that bonus.
Neither, its best to use Rawr to test what setup is best for you. If you already have haste on every item and don't have 4xT10, then AP might be better cause ur hits might be so small and whimpy. Gemming is ALWAYS based on what gear you have.

Gemming is ALWAYS based on what gear you have.
yes. if more than anything gemming feels like a puzzle. you'll want to hit the spell hit cap and expertise hit cap. after that you're supposed to gem AP until you have 5170 AP unbuffed with UR, then it would be safe to continue to gem haste. we gem haste at that point because of what Lunais said. do not forget to use a Nightmare Tear to satisfy a blue gem requirement and get a socket bonus.
but if you're in doubt, it's doesn't do much harm to gem AP/Haste. i do it to satisfy red socket requirements.
this is what I wanted to know.
I was about to ask isn't there a decent amount of attack power you should have first. I figured around 5k.
So hybrids are okay, but it's better to get everything else satisfied first and then go pure haste.
No. There is no magic number. It changes with every piece of gear you get.

i have no idea why ppl troll it doesnt help anyone but shows how dumb you are. ppl are here asking for help cause they dont know or confused by what they have read. so stop trolling and help or shut up. am sorry budgie that ppl dont have common sense about helping and been considerate. we all had to start from somewhere. i know i wasnt born a wow expert so stop acting like everyone has a PhD in World of Warcraft.
now to the issue at hand. Gemming an enhance shaman is very tricky depending on stats and gear. here are some links that will help you. i read that you need somewhere around 5k-5.2k ap unbuff before you gem haste, more hit or whatever you want to gem. ppl should gem accordingly to your own stats and what the spreadsheet tells you what is better. if you dont like spreadsheets than follow the topic guide line. i been gemming all ap till i hit 5.3k ap now am about to switch to haste and maybe hit to play with the link below. but like was said earlier hit and expertise cap is very very important. as gear gets higher you lose hit from gear and ap is higher on end game gear. so you start to switch from ap to hit gems n expertise and haste gems. so its all about what stats you have now. one piece of gear can change what u need to gem.
